Pakistan against New Zealand T20: Tourists lose the first game despite Shah's heroicism | Cricket News

New Zealand takes over an early lead in the T20 series with five games after Pakistan's Wimper had collapsed for less than 100 runs at Hagley Oval.

In the first T20 internationally against New Zealand in Christchurch, Pakistan fell a defeat with nine wicket after not defending a lean value of 91.

The tourists started the five-game series in a catastrophic way on Sunday and were reduced to 11: 4 at the end of the fifth after the Paceman Kyle Jamieson had reached the new Ball Amok.

Finally, they were released on New Zealand soil for their lowest score in a T20, and the home team had only a few problems with the response with 92: 1 statements of only 10.1 over.

Jamieson, who was later appointed man of the game, demanded three of the first four gates 3: 8 out of four over.

The new ball partner Jacob Duffy later returned to the inner sessions to sweep the tail and, like Jamieson, claimed the career best T20 number of 4-14 out of 3.4 over.

Pakistan never recovered from her collapse of the upper order after being sent to a Hagley Oval Pitch with an early life. Only three players reached double numbers.

The newly installed captain Salman Agha scored 18 and set up 46 for the fifth Wicket with the top scorer Khushdil Shah, who played for the tourists after hit three six in his 32 out of 30 balls.

Jahandad Khan scored 17 at a run-a ball before the innings ended with eight balls that were still bowling.

The former T20 value of Pakistan in New Zealand was 101 at a loss of 95 runs in Wellington in 2016.

The opener Tim Seifert broke New Zealand with 44 out of 29 balls and seven four and six on a flying start.

Finn Allen on 29th and Tim Robinson at 18 completed the chase from the first ball of the 11th.

The second game is in Dunedin on Tuesday.
